UK - Artex & Textured Coatings Remover Questions & Answers

Hearing questions and answers about a product from customers and the manufacturer themselves can really help you understand what it can do and if it’s the right product for you. Find out the answers to all the questions you have about Eco Solutions Artex & Textured Coatings Remover here.

Customer Question:

Can this product be used if the substrate behind the artex is asbestos sheeting?

Homestrip Manufacturer Seller Answer:

If you mean just plasterboard without plaster on it then yes it has been used many times in this instance. Care does have to be taken though when you get down to that surface not to be over-aggressive as you can damage the paper surface.

Customer Question:

Will ExTex affect the plaster underneath the Artex?

Homestrip Manufacturer Seller Answer:

X-Tex won’t affect the underlying plaster surface. If the plaster is in good order you won’t have any issues

Customer Answer:

No, it shouldn’t affect the plaster underneath the artex. It makes the artex damp so you can scrape it off the plaster. If your artex is very thick it might need two applications, but it works well! I’d use it again.

Our X-Tex Artex Remover

Coatings with textured surfaces can be easily removed using our X-Tex Artex Remover utilising a working wet system which makes it safe to do.

Using this method, it is possible to remove textured coatings such as Artex without causing dust that contains asbestos fibres.

Developed using ‘science not solvents’ by Eco Solutions – the world’s most advanced, innovative water-based technology

One of the fastest, easiest, and safest ways to remove Artex is by using X-Tex by Eco Solutions.

You can paint over the artex walls and ceilings with Eco Solutions X-Tex, you then scrape the artex off once it has softened. As a result of this process, the artex remains wet at all times and is known as a working wet system. This eliminates the risk of breathing in hazardous microfibers and prevents asbestos fibres from becoming airborne.

It is easier to remove it with a long-handled blade scraper, as it helps lift it from the surface, rather than spreading it around the wall.

X-Tex can also be applied overnight and covered with foil or plastic film. A foil application prevents X-Tex from drying out, forces the product down, and in most cases softens both the emulsion and the artex simultaneously. This application gets the best results and ensures you the X-Tex goes further.
